As a kid‚ I had the privilege to visit many amusement parks‚ the most common being Lagoon and Disneyland. While they are both amusement parks‚ they are similar in ways and quite different in many ways as well. There are many specific things that make them alike.

From corndogs and pretzels to cotton candy and snow cones
